A Few Basic Concepts for A Good Start On Building Your Site.

What is a "presentation website"?

A set of answers to the questions that your readers are likely to ask.

An original and personal approach to a subject you know well.

A source of information for people interested in your topic or your approach.

Help for a visitor to make a decision about a product, a service or a place.

Or something else entirely. It really depends on the needs of your intended audience. Try asking yourself: What are your reader's needs?

How would you define your site?

A good start is to actually write down a definition of your site. This will help you follow the write path.

Original, Organized and Useful content.

Create original content:

Don't copy content from another site even if it is your own. It is called "duplicate content" and is frowned upon by search engines. Think of your site as an opportunity to improve on what has already been said on your subject.

You should believe that this content is worth having its own site. Show your readers that you have something unique to share. For example, your knowledge, your business, how you do it, how it serves your clients?

Empty is full.

Don't be afraid of clarity even if your page feels empty.

Clarity reduces the strain on your visitors.There's nothing to prove by saying a lot. Extensive testing has shown that if you put too much on a page it will be skipped over rather than read. Your client will miss your point and you will loose your client.

Clarity, precision and simplicity create effective websites.
